When doing a custom length rear, I run the shallowest back spacing I can get. A 10" wheel is a 10" wheel and weighs the same. However, if you run a 3" backspace wheel vs a 6" backspace wheel, that is 3" of axle housing and axle length you can remove from either side of the car, ie a good bit lighter. PLUS deep wheels just look way better, to me at least. As already touched on, that generally makes the wheels easier to get on and off as well. You should also use a thinned lug nut and have no threads past the end of that nut. Exposed threads are dead weight, plus get in the way when changing wheels.

A shorter housing and axle is way lighter
and I like the deep wheels also
